IMPORTANT!!! I have moved to Korea since I created this blog, and I have discovered that many videos – especially ones that are uploaded by fans with English subs – have been blocked on Korean YouTube and other websites. So unfortunately, I cannot watch most of these videos or verify the links anymore. This also means I cannot add as many videos as before because they simply are not available in my region. I’m sorry if you click on something and it’s no longer there, but there’s not really any way for me to check! – Katherine (Last updated May 2020)

Episodes 510-512
A popular South Korean talk show and variety show that often has themed episodes based on the guests that they invite. Wanna One appeared on three episodes, in the “Legendary Big Mouth” section. These Happy Together episodes have two parts, so you’ll have to jump to about halfway through the video if you just want to see Wanna One.
Part One
All of the members are present for the beginning segment. Jisung, Minhyun, Seongwu, Daniel, and Jihoon stay for a more focused “interview” where the MCs determine if they can join their group of “Legendary Big Mouths.”
Part Two
Jisung, Minhyun, Seongwu, Daniel, and Jihoon finish their interview with the “Legendary Big Mouths.” They all then repeat a popular variety segment where the MCs and guests spend the night at a university (or library, or university library – I don’t really remember). They wait for the last student to finish studying and go home, playing games, chatting, and eating snacks while they do.
Part Three
Jisung, Minhyun, Seongwu, Daniel, and Jihoon continue the same segment from Part Two. At the end of the episode, they all go to surprise and congratulate the last student leaving for the night.
